SMUT IN CORN.
Its Prevention Effected by Soaking the
Seed In . Copper Sulphate Solution.

Its Prevention Effected by Soaking h
Seed In . Copper suiphate Solution.
Smut in corn is fast becoming a pre-
vailing evil, injuring the, crops and
poisoning the fodder and the cattle
which consume it. Its nature is worth
study, so that some remedy can be
found for it. 1t is q pure parasitic dis
ease, no doubt, which affects every part
of the plant and is as liable to infect
the seed and the soil as the plant itself.
In fact the evidence goes to show that
every part of the plant is infected, for
the outburst of the seed of the fungus
appears in every part, the roots, stem,
leaves, flowers and seed being all more
or less affected. The soil can not
help but be infected by the
large quantity of smut left upon
it in the debris of the crop
and that brought by the winds and
washed down by the rains from the air
in which it floats. The smut of corn is
precisely like that of wheat or oats in
its prominent characteristics and diff
fers from the latter in some invisible
points only, and the mea for evading
this which are used with effect with the
smaller grains may be used equally
with corn. We have been experiment.
ing with corn smut for some years and
have found the soaking of seed in a
solution of sulphate of copper or one of
chloride of potash-the common muri-
ate of pota h used as a fertilizer-has
the same effect in preventing smut in
the crop as it has with wheat and oats.

II M HAND.

A Nice Little Lecture for Boys and Girls
and Some Old Folks, Too.
Young people have great deal of
trouble with their hands, and commit
many faults with them. When they go
upon the platform to speak a piece,
they know not what to do with those
troublesome and superfluous append
ages, unless some good teacher of elo-
cution has told them; and then it is
hard to obey his injunction to ..let
them alone"
just to let them hang quietly and
naturally by the side most of the time,
is very difficult for a tyro. A boys inn
pull e is to get hold of his coat, tumble
with his watch-chain, or make gestures
which add no force to his words. An
old teacher of elocution has given this
excellent rule: When your hands
have nothing to do, do nothing with
them; let them hang"
Some boys, yes, and some girls, too,
have a world of trouble in keeping
their hands clean. Probably, on this
very day, in the United States, one hun
dred thousand mothers have spoken
words like these, in various to- es:
johnny, what dreadful hands to come
to the table with! Go and wash them,
sir, at once!" Johnny gazes ruefully
at what his elder sister calls his ''hor-
rid paws" and wonders how they could
have acquired their dismal hue. It
is a mystery. He started clean in
the morning; at least, he thought he
did, and he has only been to school.
Yet look at his hands! Black as a
charcoal dealers, with nails fearful to
behold. Many boys wonder, naturally
enough, how grown people keep their
hands clean all day without taking
much trouble about it. Boys handle
every thing, whether clean or dirty,
and half of them do not know how to
wash their hands, or how to wipe them
dry. Hands w~ell-washed and perfectly
dried will keep clean four times as long
as hands half-washed and half-dried.
Nails, too, are much more easily kept
in good order if they r attended to
frequently and with care and thorough
ness.
Many, indeed, r the faults of the
hands. One of the worst is pointing the
finger of scorn at the faults of others.
Biting the thumb was the Italian
method of expressing contempt in the
days of Romeo and Juliet, the tragedy
of whose lives began with their servants
biting their thumbs at one another. 1t
is with the hands that boys pinch,
scratch, fight and steal. Hamlet called
his hands "pickers and stealers."
But, then, what beautiful and won
derful things the human hand can do!
what lovely pictures it can paint; what
enchanting music it can play; what val
liant deeds it can do; what kind acts it
can perform! Best of all, it can lift up
the fallen, and welcome back to hope
and new effort the %repentent wandercr
from the path of recitude. We said the
other week, that knowing teachers
often judge of the quality of their pu-
| pills by looking at their mouths. But
the hands, too, have a tale to tell and
sometimes they tell very plainly
